this show requires plenty of “suspension of disbelief.” Once you get by spore drive, I guess anything is possible. Mycelium spores for interstellar space travel? hmmm....that makes sense. Ok and Spock had a sister nobody knew about. Why am I watching this show?

Seriously? Jesus.

The whole thing makes no sense. People still use dilithium for ftl travel after the burn. You’d think more people would have tried to find out about the burn at least to learn if it could happen again. Even criminals and pirates would be interested since so much of their power depend on control of dilithium.

YES! There are WHOLE PLANETS FULL OF PEOPLE who probably want to be able to go back to interstellar travel sometime soon. On all of these planets are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACTUAL SCIENTISTS. There would be an unimaginable drive to find out what the fuck happened and why, but instead the show would like us to…

This episode highlighted a few things for me:

it’s so weird to read something on this site that isn’t barely disguised ad copy. Thank you for hating on this stupid, terrible show.

Tilly technically never graduated from the Academy; serving on a starship/starbase is part of sophomore year field studies at Starfleet Academy. She was promoted to ensign due to whatever the hell Disco Season One was.

Tilly as acting first officer? Is this show a comedy now?

Michael: “Did my crew and I risk our lives in the past to save all sentient life in the universe”

There’s something considered off-book in Discovery?! Wow.

This star is yours. Enjoy it!

I was already about to star your post, but then I got to the part about pockets and my approval bloomed a thousandfold ;-)

I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.

We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s …

What a bunch of whiny little assholes. We’ve had centuries of exclusively male leadership, even if Harris does become president life will go on. Also, if your religion tells you that ‘women voting goes against “God’s ordained order of men being the leaders”’, time to choose a new religion.

So this is starting to look like an old Central American transfer of power I can remember. The cherry on top is the disappearance of the previous president and a coincidental withdrawal of a large amount of public funds.

Even then, best case scenario is still having to get precariously position senators in purple states like Manchin & the two Georgia senators to sign off on legislation. Climate legislation that goes after emissions is DOA.

Found it on The Washington Post’s web site.  She is refusing to sign the paperwork. 

He’s just delaying the inevitable at this point, and GOP obstructionism is nothing new.  It won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things, and you’ll still end up with better governance than if Trump had been reelected.

If Georgia can make another miracle happen in their Senate runoff, Turtleneck won’t be able to do jack crap.

I hope Biden goes in there and just goes crazy with issuing executive orders. He really needs to double down on getting stuff rolling. Who cares if the GOP gets mad. Turtle neck is going to be an asshole regardless.
